Of morning coffee and mellow vibes...

"Nice?" Naaaaah! Not my word. A hackneyed and probably the most overrated of all compliments... I don't know but there's a certain shallow quality to the sound of the word that tells me to rather not take it seriously.

Talking about nice people... they're a li'l tricky. But have you met those really 'good' people who'd have a bellyful of laughter with you and know exactly what kind of messages to drop in? Most times, it's not the length of the conversation but the empathy involved which tells you a lot about the person. They stay in the periphery... and do exactly what is required. You won't see them in bunches... You won't hear their tittle-tattle. Chances are you'll overlook them without stopping by... because right now, they are not the trending ones in the bazaar...

But icing over the pastry is a buttery affair. I'd rather have a vanilla muffin. Sometimes it's not the extra sugar that seals the deal, it's the aroma of the morning coffee - mellow and strong! 😉

Dear Braveheart!

It's been a while since I last wrote. And today, I write for the greater good of anyone and everyone who has been through it and seen it all - the good, the bad and the ugly.

To be kind in a toxic world is the greatest act of courage. But that shouldn't deter you from taking a stand every time the tide turns against you. Do whatever it takes to curtail the unhealthy influences in your life. If you're a braveheart, it is going to be even tougher for you because people tend to cling on to you... finding it hard to let you go even though deep down, they know they no longer deserve you. Lord help them because they know not what they do. But dear braveheart, you do know. And so you do. Stop giving discounts to people just because you think that's what you are. No. You're as good and as bad as the person you're dealing with. Protect your space from spineless people. And do not shy away from questioning. Because if it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. And everyone you lose is not a loss.
